New platform publishes primary-source analysis of UAP-related legislation, classification costs, and federal disclosure activity as government releases accelerate.
BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / July 11, 2026 / Blackgrove Global Risk today announced the full launch of its intelligence platform at blackgroveglobalrisk.com, delivering primary-source analysis of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) as an institutional and capital risk variable. The platform focuses on measurable consequences - classification cost structures, custody arrangements, legislative outcomes, liability exposure, and insurance gaps - that exist independent of origin questions.
In conjunction with the launch, Blackgrove published an executive briefing, "Phenomenomics: The Economy of UFO Secrecy," which examines U.S. government data on classification system costs, overclassification diagnostics, and implications for risk modeling of unresolved aerospace categories.
The launch comes during a period of accelerating government activity around the UAP subject. On February 19, 2026, President Trump announced via Truth Social that he had directed the Department of Defense - which operates under the secondary title "Department of War" pursuant to Executive Order 14347 of September 5, 2025 - and other federal agencies to identify, declassify, and release government records related to UAP and extraterrestrial life, as reported by Scientific American on February 20, 2026. That directive produced the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), which the Department of War launched at war.gov/ufo on May 8, 2026, and which has published additional record tranches on a rolling basis, according to the Department of War and contemporaneous reporting by The Washington Post and CNN.
Since 2022, government activity on the subject has included the following: Congress has held multiple public UAP hearings; the Senate-passed version of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act proposed federal eminent domain authority over recovered technologies of unknown origin held by private entities, a provision stripped in conference and reintroduced in the 119th Congress as S.Amdt. 3111 to S.2296, per the Congressional Record and analysis published by Covington & Burling on January 9, 2024; and the ODNI, FBI, and Department of War have established an interagency UAP Governance Board, advised by an external UAP Science Advisory Council chaired by Harvard Professor Avi Loeb, as reported by DefenseScoop on June 17, 2026, and confirmed on the record by an ODNI official to Liberation Times. In a June 30, 2026, interview on the Jack Gordon podcast, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman also confirmed on record that the agency has "captured imagery" that "we don't know what it is," remarks subsequently covered by Fox News and other national outlets.
"There is a difference between following the subject and analyzing the emerging risks," said Gene Sticco, Founder of Blackgrove Global Risk. "Boards should not be debating whether UAP are real. The Government is moving regardless. They should be asking what happens if eminent domain authority is enacted and exercised, what insurance protection gaps mean for underwriting, and whether their emergency management protocols account for a scenario the federal government is actively investigating and restructuring for."
